OK, we're assuming its not a huge surprise that Sara is Latina. Her father is Mexican and her mother is half-Mexican, half-Irish-American. She was actually born in Mexico — in the picturesque resort town Mazatlán — and moved with her family to San Diego when she was eight.

Sara's self-titled 2011 EP won us over with just four songs — the cover of "The Story" she performed in the musical episode of Grey's and three original songs which she co-wrote. The album peaked at a respectable #37 on the Billboard 200 and #7 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart.

And, of course, Sara's big break was a lead role in the Monty Python Broadway musical Spamalot, which won her a Tony Award.

She also released a single in time for Christmas in 2009, her version of "Silent Night."
